Lackluster

Posted by Amethyst Anne in , ,
Well that about sums up my total outlook these days.
I can't pinpoint exactly what is making me so damn apathetic, lethargic and somewhat bitchy.
From what my apathetic soul can ascertain it is a myriad of things that have accumulated to induce this lackluster approach to life.


It all sort of started with The Birthday. 


The Birthday that brings me one year closer to that age that starts with 4. I had a hard time with it, I wanted to avoid it, but the son of a bitch happened anyway. I don't know why this year bothered me so much, ok I lie, I have a few good ideas as to why and it may or may not have something to do with my fucking biological clock. 


Then there is the weather. We have had a distinct  lack of nice weather. By this I mean actual Spring! We are still blanketed with snow and encompassed with cold mother freaking weather. You know the kind that begs for you to stay in bed, huddled under the shelter of the covers. I yearn for sandals, shaved legs and the warmth of the sun on my face as I sit in my back yard.....*sigh*


Work seems to be another major 'issue'; apparently I have so much time on my hands that I am 'able' to do the workload of 4 people for the same salary as 1.  This of course causes me to be extremely enthusiastic about going to work!


Oh and we must not forget the back!! The back with the L4, L5 issue that makes my ass feel like someone has it stuck in a vise. I have been taking Ibuprofen and muscle relaxants so often that I consider them their own food group.




Then at the depth of my fight with the depression demon, there has been light. Light filled with friendship, warmth and compassion from places I would never have imagined.
These unexpected gifts warmed me to the very core of my being and affected me in so many ways that I cannot even begin to explain.
So I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for helping me see the light in the darkness, just by being you.
You guys know who you are, and your friendship means more to me that you will ever know.


Smooches!!

Oh geez...it's only March and you know you have alllll of April and probably most of May to get through before the temps warm up; winter in your neck of the woods is a long haul, but that's what makes its denizens the strongest and the best, right?
Hang in there sweetie, you'll be swilling beers and doing BBQ on the deck before you know it.
PS. You're going to LOVE your 40's, trust me!


I'm gonna tell you the same thing I'll expect you to tell me in November ... 'Having birthdays' is better than the alternative ... y'know ... NOT having birthdays.

(Although, I can sense there is an underbelly to your angst ... I'll put a pin in that for later)

Winter sucks, but the end of winter is its own special hell. I start losing the remains of my sanity in late January ... and by March, I am a babbling, grumpy, old bitch - HEY, WHO SAID 'how's that different?'

You'll get through ... but in the meantime, remember that you are a wicked smart, funny, sassy and hawt woman who is madly in love with her man (who returns the sentiment, I might add) and you have the most gorgeous child on the planet ... who is ultra kewl in his own right ... so it's all good, babe. Plus, you are one of my faviest peeps around ... You'll be alright.

Take care of that back, though ... I do NOT envy you that. *shudders*

Air kisses, D
